Iowa State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says February will goes into the record books in the top ten in both cold and snow. Hillaker says the persistent cold is probably the thing that stands out the most about the month.
Those were five consecutive days above normal from February 6th through the 10th. Temperatures really dropped at the end of the month.
Hillaker says overall the winter hasn’t been anything too out of the ordinary.
Hillaker says winter’s worst is probably past us now as the days get longer with more sunlight heading into March.
